On the present occasion we have the same scarcity of news, that isgelly, fling jy de: cent intelligence is from Shanghai by the Lapwing bringing dates to the 18th August. The new crop of silk was coming in, and a considerable barter trade for is was carrying on at prices rather under those of last year, Prices for the drug there are nearly the same As the river here.

A

pretty smart shock of an earthquake was felt early in the morning of the 4th sufficient to awake the sleepers, to cause bells to ring and set all the glasses in the different establish- ments pugling. Some alarin was felt at the moment for the stability of the new buildings, but fortunately no damage was produced. One Jetter describes the sensation as if a heavy wave had broken into the house. The natives say Buch shocks occur every two or three weare, Several persons reported that they had heard rumbling noises at intervals for some days previous, but had net before experienced any shock,

His subsequent course and career in the Moren are well known; and he must not be judged of according to our English notions of war, Massacre and devastation have always been as80- ciated with idens of hostility in the East, and, rated by the Turkish standara, Ibrahim was not a whit more sanguinary than every follower of Mahomed; while bis policy was often marked by features of a better order. If any one could have restored the Morea to the old odious Ottoman race; or reduced it to order at all, it would have been Ibrahim by his stern resolution and courageous conduct. But fate willed it otherwise, and the allies interposed. The issue of the struggle is well known: the united Bri- lish, French, and Russinn fleets met in the Archi- pelage, and at Navarino crushed the Turco-Egyp lian host, after a conflict pronounced " untoward;” but which certainly was one of the most brilliant in recent times.

He had been defeated, but was not sub- dued; and bad not the Ottoman Porte wisely seen the expediency of discontinuing the struggle, doubt- leas, he would have maintained it with the same imperturbable coolness while a ship or a gun remain ed. Syria was the next field of importance in Ibrahim's martial career; and here he evinced, as a general, abilities still greater than those which had marked his conduct as a naval commander. The two services are, in modern days, deemed in compatible; but it was not so in the older annals of English and European warfare, and it is not so al present in the Turkish system of hostilities. The lending Pacha there is still expected to take the command of the Sultan's forces by sea or land, or both, as occasion may require, as did our old Eng. lish commanders, Howard of Effingham, the Earl of Essex, Raleigh, Drake, &c., in the days of Eli. zabeth. But utility as well as custom seems in favour of the separation, and Ibrahim has undoubt edly shown greater abilities as a general than as mdmiral. He has, to be sure, had inferior fues to contend with, or at least has not had to encounter the disciplined forces of the East. But all reports concur in representing his campaign to have been very able, and the troops over which he triumphed were amongst the fiercest of the East. France has long exhausted her strength with inferior forces in Africa, and Russia has for many years in vain at. tempted to put down a similar race of men in Cir- cassia; but Ibrahim, in two campaigns, completely accomplished his task. The battle of Nezib was memorable for its importance as well as its sun- guinary character, and for many years aecured Syria to Mcheret Al's sway, until the country was again foro from his grasp by the English, under Sir Charles Napier at St. Jean d'Acre
